BiographyEdit

Battle of NetheropEdit

Main article: Battle of Netherop (2559)

In November 2559, during the Cortana's reign over the galaxy, Sahir was a part of Tango Team, an ODST force under the command of Spartan Olympia Vale and Gunnery Sergeant "Mama" Grim Bear that was deployed to the world of Netherop aboard the Point Blank-class prowler UNSC Hidden Point. Their aim was to recover the Divine Hand, a weapon that could be used to destroy Cortana's Guardians. Sahir was deployed towards the surface of the planet in a D102 Owl insertion craft alongside Vale, Grim Bear, Keely Iyuska, Rosa Fuertes, P. Barnes, S. Legowski, and the other 11 ODSTs of Tango Team. During their descent, the Divine Hand was fired by Nizat 'Kvarosee and the Defenders of the Sanctum, destroying the 40 Pelican dropships accompanying the Owl and leaving Tango Team the only ones to reach the planet's surface.[2] Upon landing at the summit of the tel were the weapon had fired, Sahir helped lead the scouting of the area. Tango Team was eventually ambushed by the Defenders of the Sanctum as the Covenant Castaways opened up a tunnel directly below their landing zone, an attack that Sahir helped repel.[3]

After the ambush, Tango Team was joined by the remaining forces of Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and Commander Amalea Petrov. While the Swords of Sanghelios pursued Nizat and his forces through the tunnels, Sahir infiltrated the tel alongside Vale, Barnes, Iyuska, Petrov, and First squad through a recently uncovered ventilation shaft. [4] Upon reaching the bottom, they reconnoitered the Aeroponics Chamber before pushing deeper into the tel. Sahir was in the back of the formation alongside Abovian, Kane, and an unnamed trooper when Nizat and his forces ambushed them again, killing troopers Martinez and Hoi with energy swords. Sahir attempted to form a defensive line against the cloaked Sangheili and make radio contact with the rest of his squad, but the ODSTs were quickly attacked as well. Sahir was killed in the exchange, being cut down from behind by a cloaked Sangheili with an energy sword while he was lying prone.[1]

EquipmentEdit

Sahir was seen using a MA40 assault rifle in the field.[1]
